(I’m going to sneak this in here, something to read when you get tired of debates and impeachment.)
If you’ve been wanting a Great Dane…and think you can handle a Great Dane…this might be your opportunity. This is near my extended family, so I can probably help with transport if we need to relocate him a state or two.
This is a beautiful Merle who needs a new home. Please email me if you’re interested. He’s located near Lincoln, NE. As always transport can be discussed.
He turned a year old on May 11. He’s been around young children. He has been around other dogs, geese, horses, chickens, and goats. He is still intact and will need to be neutered by 2.
For the most part, he is super well behaved. They are sad to have to put him up for adoption, but they just don’t think it’s fair to him with how busy they are and how much they are gone every day.
He’s housebroken, has had some training and has been easy to train, so expecting with more attention he’ll be a sweet family dog.
I’m going to be very picky to make sure he has the right home.

Good looking fella! Let me tell you about my granddogs…

He’s a handsome lad. I presume Merle is not his actual name?

You don’t want a third Great Dane?

This post seems to have borked the rest of the site in my windows 10, Google Chrome browser. Everything is formatted all the way to the edge, left.
dr. luba
@David Fud: Same here, Safari. No margins.
dr. luba
@David Fud: And the “post + comments” box/button missing. Also, too, can’t edit.

What a sweet boy. I wish I could have a dog!
Elizabelle
@dr. luba: But it seems that if you click on a previous blogpost, you do get the better formatting back. And recent comments (my favorite).
It’s just the front page that is … borked.

Beautiful pup. I hope he finds a wonderful forever home.
He looks a lot like Scout! Maybe he has an affinity for ducks too.

@David Fud:
@dr. luba:
Have you guys tried refreshing the page? Sometimes that works for me on my Win7/Firefox laptop.

@Elizabelle: It seems to be fixed now.
Or it looks fixed after I cycled UBlock Origin off then back on, here.
mid-2012 MBP, Chrome.
Cheers,

Here’s hoping Merle finds his forever home in the near future. Gorgeous doggy.

@Patricia Kayden:
Merle is his color. :-)

@Elizabelle: It’s all better now. It didn’t like the MORE button to hide pictures below the fold. That has been removed and all is good.

Put this up on my FB. Maybe he won’t have to move too far.

best dog I ever had was a female blue merle Great Dane, Cassie. She was sweet and gentle but would produce a tremendous amount of drool. Loogies would fly all over the place. I would love to have another, but after hip replacements, I cannot chance walking a dog that big in the event a squirrel crosses our path

I was thinking that Pearl needs another playmate.

@TaMara (HFG): So can we call him Haggard?

@Jay Noble: Thank you!

My satellite dish just went tits up. Too much impeachment I guess. On hold with support now. I feel like I should be playing final jeopardy theme .

@realbtl: How about “Allin”? (you’d have to google that one)
CaseyL
Oh, he is a handsome fellow! I look forward to hearing what will undoubtedly be a humorous, adventure-filled tale of how he found his forever home.
Mary G
As ever, can’t take him for any number of reasons, but will chip in a mite for transpo. He looks like a sweetie pie.

What a beautiful dog. Fingers crossed that his forever home finds him soon.
Miss Bianca
Oh, he is beautiful. Wish I were in the “Great Dane Zone” myself. Alas, no.

Now when you say transportation for a few states. Am i safe to say Pennsylvania is too far away….. My dane past away, oh say 10ish years ago…. I do miss having one around the house.

My sister has a rescue Great Dane that she adopted via:
http://www.bigdogshugepaws.com
They have an owner surrender program & do a very careful vetting of their placements. My sister was quite impressed with them. They are in Kansas, so Nebraska should be close enough, if you have trouble finding a home.
(My sister might’ve offered to take him, but she is in a very small rental house while renovation is being done on her new house, and doesn’t have the space & can’t be 100% certain when that situation will resolve.)

@Been So long i forgot my handle:
Oh but most of the states in between are those flat ones anyhow, easy to roll right through!
Joking aside, I think the last BJ kitty transport was from the Midwest to Maryland, so who knows.
I would chip in a few bucks if the hat gets passed.
What a beautiful huge doggie. Praying for the right match to become clear.
TaMara (HFG)
@LunarG: My experience with them was not good and I have several issues with the way they handle their adoptions. Also, we are trying to keep this cutie pie from being uprooted twice. But thank you for the suggestion and I’m glad your sister had a good experience. I’m hoping with my Great Dane network we can find him a forever home without the stress of a foster home in between.

@Been So long i forgot my handle: Never say never…

Beautiful boy! Hope he lands in a great home.

Awwwwwwe Would that I could.

Gor-geous boy. But my giants have a Yak overcoat (and I’m in line for a well behaved male, I hope). Anyway, Murphy seems to like only-child status. And I live on the East coast…
I learned that the dog control officer in my town has a rescued Dane. She raised 5 kids and heaven knows how many needy animals–so much so that she’s passed it to her kids, and is currently caring for her son’s diabetic cat. She’s good people, even if she came over b/c one of my cowardly neighbors was annoyed by Murphy & her big mouth. Pyrs are loudmouths!! But if I (pack leader) set outside with her, she’s quiet. Yes, just as the early morning temps drop into the low 30’s. :)
I am totally up for a chip-in if needed for transport/vetting costs. Good luck!

I think most politically aware folks know what Biden meant to say and who is was actually talking a about, but the visual of Kamala standing right next to him saying “hey I’m right here” and Cory being like “dafuq…that’s not true” is what made it not a great look for Biden, especially with all the sensitivity over media erasure of Kamala campaign
WereBear
What a darling. Good luck, big fella!
